I am not the exception. I am the rule. .
I’ve never been particularly athletic (until now 💁🏼‍♀️), if you ask me to catch a ball, I’ll probably turn to the side and wince in pain as it smacks me in the arm. If you ask me to throw a ball, I’ll probably nail you in the face. I never made it past the ketchup/mustard level of soccer. Even after three seasons. I was NOT GOOD at @alexia_clark program when I started. I never set a timer. The moves were so foreign to me. I can’t tell you how many times I posed the question “she wants me to do what? How? Has she lost her mind?”.... but, I ALWAYS tried. I watched her videos. I recorded myself. I watched myself. If I looked funny, I tried again. And again. And again. I did what I could, when I could.... and I CONSISTENTLY, PERSISTENTLY, show up. I’ve kept trying. I have eaten moderately well. Some days my nutrition consists of strictly cake and brownies. Some months I eat an @eatenlightened or @halotopcreamery every day of the week. Sometimes twice a day. But most days, I eat food that nourishes my body and allows me to do the things I truly enjoy doing. So just know, I haven’t done anything special, I have no secrets to share, the only supplement I take is preworkout and believe me when I say, if I can do this, I know you can too. I am not the exception. I am the rule. #queenteam @queenteam

Why you aren’t seeing results:
_
1️⃣Zero direction. Doing whatever you feel like in the gym is sweet for your brain but not always for your body. Never following a program makes it hard to track & test for tangible progress. If winging it works for you, DO THAT. But if you’re spinning your wheels, consider getting yourself a program/coach to help guide you & look at the bigger picture
_
2️⃣You’re not pushing yourself. You won’t be able to add weight to every single exercise, every session in every program. But are you always grabbing the exact same weights/bands month after month? Not every workout needs to be a push til you puke fight (pls no) & some days you’ll be dragging. But when you’re feeling good, challenge yourself. The solution: put some fucking oomph into it 👊🏻
_
3️⃣Super unrealistic fitspo goals. I’m 5’2 and train as a powerbuilder. If my fitspo is a 5’9 bikini competitor, I’m going to feel like a failure FAST. Find folks with similar body types and/or goals. Maybe unfollow people who’s ENTIRE life is literally to exercise & promote products. Find people who have lives, jobs & resources like yours. Also important: fill your timelines with more diversity & inclusivity: people of color & skinny/fat/big/lean/muscular/not-muscular bodies, other gender expressions, old, young, etc
_
4️⃣Caring too deeply about what people in the gym think. I can’t tell you how many times people have told me they’re ashamed to squeeze their glutes because it shows their fat/cellulite. The fear of looking less than perfect while lifting is holding you back from creating the change you’re working out for in the first place. Personally, I can tell you the ONLY things I’m focused on when I’m in a new gym is how my OWN high waisted pants look, finding the good lighting & making sure I don’t cut my head off in my videos. 💁🏻‍♀️ Wear a hat/headphones, set yourself up in your own little area if you’re working on your confidence (another time where having a program helps because you’ll KNOW what you’re doing 👌🏻) OR you can be IN the gym that you BELONG in BECAUSE YOU PAID FOR IT & YOU DESERVE TO BE THERE TOO. Truly we’re all focused on our own shit.

Fact: workouts make me a better person. After being too exhausted to workout in almost a week (working nights is hard 😭) I finally made it to the gym today. Praise Jesus hallelujah. 🙌🏻 Here’s some truth for today... the fitness industry is constantly pushing us to work harder and push ourselves. Which is great! But there are some times it’s SO important to take it back a notch and just rest. Take a day off for goodness sake. It’s not going to kill you. Happy Tuesday 🤗

Post workout fuelled by eggs and Oreos 🤷🏼‍♀️😋 First day back strength training after 3 days of rest! Did just a mix of some upper body and lower body free weight training! It’s crazy how the endorphins from working out are instant mood boosters 🌸😌

I am so glad I have become a different person than the girl on the left. Not going to lie, that was probably the hardest time in my life. I may be smiling but on the inside I am struggling to get my life together. Fast forward 5 years to the girl on right who is happy and healthy and has some major goals she wants to crush 💃🏼 Starting August 27th I am hosting a ✨ FREE GROUP ✨ that will include 2 weeks of workouts, recipes and a support system. Have you been wanting to see what the workouts I’ve been doing are like? This is the perfect opportunity for you to fall in love! (There’s also a chance to win a $100 gift card to Lululemon 🤯) Message me or drop your favorite emoji below to get the details!!

DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS YOU GUYS! If you think for one second that this journey has been easy for me, you are sadly mistaken. There were many days where I didn’t feel like working out, or I wanted McDonald’s chicken nuggets instead of baked chicken nuggets with no breading. Hell, there were even days where I did give up. But I woke up the next morning, stopped feeling sorry for myself, and realized that my dreams were far too important. Here we are 2 years later & I get to enjoy days like this - randomly cleaning out my closet & finding shirts that now fit like this that used to be skin tight. It feels good to be able to donate this knowing that I’m never turning back. This hasn’t been easy, but it’s sure as hell been worth it. If you’re feeling lost or not sure where to get started, my inbox is always open for you! // 💌 koachkayce@gmail.com

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a selfie on this account... I took this picture last week on an an island, Vinalhaven, Maine. I grew up spending entire summers here as a child. For the first time in almost 30 years, I spent spending 9 days alone on our property. So much time to take it in. The beauty. The moment.
💚
Listening to the birds chirp.
Smelling the salt of the ocean.
Feeling the sun on my skin.
Tasting local grass through inhales, breathing smoke on my exhales.
And touching the most heartfelt part of my Soul that has ever existed.
💚
It’s here on this island. Some days are cold and foggy— some are beautiful and sunny. I’m on my puffy vest— and then I’m in my bikini. But isn’t that why it’s such a lovely flow? It is what it is. I prepare as I can— and I dance with the rain when it comes.
💚
VinalHEAVEN, thank you for always guiding me hOMe.

**can we all just agree that you can’t SEE anything here, so there’s no need to report this picture mmkay? 😗** Mamas - there are so many excuses DISGUISED as “reasons” in our lives.
The baby will wake up and want to eat.
The other kids will interrupt.
The laundry VOLCANO is about to explode.
The dishes are overflowing.
I’m tired.
I’m so out of shape, I can’t do it like *her*. (Whoever her is 🤷🏻‍♀️) I USED TO BE THAT GIRL. I would get all excited about getting back into exercise and go hard for 3 weeks. Then the excuses crept in and I would fall out of the routine, gain the 7 pounds back I had lost and then some. I would lose motivation. I would tell myself stories about how next time would be different. I would PROMISE myself that I would stop breaking my promises to myself.
What changed?! I became part of a FAMILY. A tribe of women that supports me on my bad days, cheers me on during my good days and ALWAYS supports me no matter what my goals are. The support and accountability that comes from a tribe of like-minded women (and men!) is unlike anything else!
Don’t knock it till you try it. 😘 *link in my bio to join us!!* #normalizebreastfeeding#postpartum#takingbackpostpartum#5weekspostpartum#fourthbaby#momof4#lululemon#vsx#newbalance#firewife

Bet you guys didn’t know I wear glasses 🦖🤓 Added these at the end of a chest and shoulders workout which sort of became a full body workout. 🙈 Having a desk job makes me antsy, so I needed to add some extra movements before going home 💪🏻🔥 Plus I’m trying to work on my baby biceps.

-Single arm curls 3x8-10
-Together curls 3x8-10
-Box jumps 3x 10
-Step ups with a kick back (yeah boottyyyy)

What sets your soul on fire?! What is your passion and where does it stem from? What will you do in order to get where you want to be?

I was just talking to my little sister @kait.steck a couple nights ago and as different as we are, we both live through our passions. •
After, many years of schooling, this year she finally graduated and is a nurse.👩‍⚕️ This is her calling and it has been since she was a baby going to coffee every morning with my grandparents, transitioning to serving coffee for my grandparents, to helping my Uncle who was dying of cancer. She’s always had that natural nurturing energy and care for her elders. She finally did it but it wasn’t easy. •
Sometimes we need to sacrifice in order to get where we need/want to be. I spent a decade trying to “find myself” and was looking in all of the wrong places. I was too busy listening to others instead of following my intuition. I knew deep down but was listening to logic.
•
I failed, I let go of friends, I cried, I felt anger, frustration, fear. I felt it all but I finally listened to the signs and followed them when I was at my breaking point. I really had no other option. I was trying to force something that wasn’t there. Trying to be someone I wasn’t. I proved to myself I could do it but it wasn’t fulfilling. •
Just know, Wherever you are on your journey, don’t give up. That ray of light gets closer and closer everyday whether you realize it or not. ✨ You just need to follow your instincts. You are exactly where you need to be, even if you’re uncomfortable right now. There is a lesson to learn. 💗
•
A couple nights ago, I met a beautiful group of souls at a New Moon Ceremony and I can’t help but feel emotionally grateful for knowing I am exactly where I need to be, doing exactly what I need to be doing💗 I fought to get where I am and it was worth every single one of the hardships. Keep fighting for what sets your soul on fire 🥊❤️🔥

⚡️Quick T’s Tuesday Tip!⚡️ This is one of my favorite quotes (of MANY) from @tonyrobbins and to me, it means that once you have made a decision, you’ve cut yourself off from other possibilities, you are COMMITTED to your desired outcome. However, things do happen, and your chosen path, your approach, might not go as smoothly as you’d like.🤔 oh noooo, What do you do?
Change your approach!👍🏽Try a different way!👊🏽Observe👀what DOES or doesn’t work, use your intelligence🧠 and courage🦁to refine your approach, and keep after it until you 🙌🏾achieve your goal.🙌🏾
So, in a nutshell, make the decision to join me and other beautiful souls for Sunrise Vinyasa Yoga at 5:45 am tomorrow morning at @lifetimelagunaniguel 😆

I dont usually like high end brand's shoes bc they usually go over board with the design but these boots by @giuseppezanotti >>> the simple gold trim and black is too clean, and the rick owens feel makes it more casual. Fellas, suede chelsea boots. Youll thank me later.

One year ago I took a chance on these home WORKOUTS 💪One year ago I took a chance on this COACHING thing 👭One year ago I took a chance on ME 🙋🏼‍♀️
.
In one year so much has changed. My life, my work, my mindset, my body✨Was it all easy breezy, ummmm nope! Parts of the last year have been challenging AF...but I’m still here, still standing and feeling HEALTHIER and HAPPIER by the day ✨
.
Where do you see yourself in a YEAR❓What would you like to see CHANGE❓What small daily ACTIONS can you begin (today!) to make sure you are where you want to be one year from now⁉️It’s time to take a chance on you babe, and if you need a #fitbestie by your side...I’ll be here waitin’ 👭

I think I’m having a mountain hangover. The past few days in Glacier National Park are hard to describe simply. The one word that continues to be top of mind is gratitude. I am so grateful for these beautiful gifts the earth has for us to explore. Whether it’s your backyard, your neighborhood park or a national treasure across the country, get outside.

You are NOT the BEST you just because you are getting smaller. In fact I was my most irritable, most forgetful self when I was dieting (go ahead and try to say that's not normal because every competitor I KNOW is like that). After competing was the first time in my life where I saw myself get "bigger" and it was fucking hard. Getting over the mindset of "but I'm losing progress" was one of the toughest aspects. Yes I know I look like a deprived little sewer rat on the left, but gaining weight is fucking very mentally challenging and if you're struggling I'm just here to tell you that it gets better, and I swear one day I woke up and was like "wow I'm happy with how my body looks AND feels" and I don't think I've ever in my life felt that until the last few months. For all my people out there with the post show blues, hang tight...you'll get there. #gainingweightiscool
